Andrew Bynum to lube his knee via injection

This does not look good for his future.

 

...unless it works. I'm interested in looking more into it.

 

paging brandon roy

 

Brandon Roy should do this and come back

 

This kinda feels like one of those things that's going to be a huge success or a colossal failure.

 

my grandma gets this done all the time...

it goes away in a couple months.

she still had to get her knee replaced. And yes, she also got the same exact treatment. Synvisc

 

not a chance. This "treatment" is simply a stop gap and doesn't solve any of the structural issues in the knee

 

so i'm guessing this effects the trade to get howard for bynum

 

Magic already said no to Andrew. Maybe. Reportedly.

 

I think B-Roy should enjoy his life after basketball, and not kill himself just to play a few more years. Too many players hold on too long and end up with serious health problems later in life.

 

so we might see howard in a nets jersey

 

My friend got it. After a couple of months it actually worked.

 

they said earlier he has the procedure about three times per year, par for the course for a 7 footer.

I'm not buying it

 

And they won't trade Bynum/Gasol for Howard/Nelson for what reason?!?!?!??

 

well that's not good. that means his knee is degenerating already

 

basketball reasons

 

Did you use the word LUBE ?

 

That looks like a painful injection.

 

Knee lube made from chicken combs every 6 months. Would the NBA and its schedule require more frequent injections?

I wonder if players are informed about the danger of cortisone?, ie it can lead to amputation.
